Nexus
Description
"Brings [Baron's] award-winning superhero to life in ways we haven't seen before. Witty, profound, and deeply moving, this novel is serious science fiction." -Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times-bestselling author Nexus is the greatest avenger the galaxy has ever known. He has faced mass murderers and alien monsters. But his power comes from an alien race with its own agenda. Is the mighty Nexus hero or pawn? Deliverer or destroyer? Gourmando, the devourer of worlds, now has an appetite for Ylum, the home of Nexus. How can one man, no matter how powerful, stop an entity that consumes whole planets? Based on the bestselling comic book created by Mike Baron and Steve Rude, this is Nexus's greatest adventure (for now, at least!). "May be one of the finest examples of galaxy-spanning worldbuilding in science fiction. Add to that a compelling cast of characters, a flawless ear for dialogue, and a genuinely thrilling story, and the result is a truly brilliant book, full stop." -James A. Owen, author of Secrets of the Dragon Riders
